operation  contrasting valkyrie   
     in the sixties.  the central     
  intelligence agency "cia" release   
   aerosolized  selatenine  over  a   
   jupiter equinox concert, creating  
   the largest secret paradigm shift  
   that the world has  ever  seen.  
  
                                          
 the jupiter equinox* concert  is part of 
 a festival  in black tickle  arranged by 
 a group called epicenter of love.  there 
 is   no   entrance   but  visitors   are 
 expected to help with  maintenance. food 
 and  drink  is  shared.  many  bands are 
 playing over the four day course of  the 
 festival, and the stage is open  between 
 scheduled   concerts.   jupiter equinox, 
 while  an unknown act, has a prestigious 
 timeslot at eight in the  evening on the 
 third  day,  which  is  friday.       
                                          
 eight is  also  when the  plane used  to 
 spread   the  aerosol  lifts   off.   it 
 arrives at the festival about a  quarter 
 past,  sound   masked  by  the  concert. 
 around   when   the   first    wave   of 
 selatenine   must   have   reached   the 
 audience, the  song comes to a tense but 
 quiet  movement,  and  the  lead  singer 
 walks  to   the   front  of  the  stage. 
                                          
 she  says, with  a crystalline voice: "i 
 have something to tell you.  i am not  a 
 human  being. i  am not an animal  or  a 
 plant.  i have been  sent to  deliver  a 
 message to  you. a message of hope.  you 
 are not alone.  there  are  other beings 
 in  the  universe.  there  is  life  out 
 there,  life  that  is  reaching  out  a 
 hand. and it's  time to  take that hand. 
 to reach out toward that  hand  and grab 
 it it. it is time to come home. you  are 
 going   home.  you  are   going   home." 
                                          
 the  singer  stands   there  for  a  few 
 moments,  her  hand raised  in the  air, 
 before  the  rest of  the band kicks  in 
 and  the  music builds  to  a crescendo. 
 the crowd  erupts.  and  then  something 
 else  erupts  as  well.  a  concert-goer 
 describes  it:  "suddenly,   the   music 
 seams  broader,  more  colorful.  i  can 
 somehow see it, and  i feel  the  others 
 seeing  it, and  i see  it through their 
 eyes as  well.  meanwhile  i'm  dancing, 
 and i can  feel  my body  as i've  never 
 done  before, i  am  aware of each  cell 
 and  each  molecule,  all  vibrating  in 
 unison.  and  it's  all   going  faster, 
 building up to  something,  waking  up." 
                                          
 people  start  forming circles,  holding 
 hands  and  dancing.  some  are  crying. 
 some are laughing.  some are  screaming. 
                                          
 and then  - a flutter  -  and  something 
 gives.   a   shockwave   of    reversing 
 polarity   in   the   ether,  and   like 
 butterflies  getting hit  by a burst  of 
 wind, the third eye  opens  for everyone 
 in the audience.  and it becomes a chain 
 reaction, quickly  spreading  across the 
 festival area. within  seconds there  is 
 a  global   blackout.   festival   goers 
 regain  their  memories  around  a  week 
 later,  those  in  the  nearby  town  of 
 black tickle  after   a  few  days,   in 
 montreal  for  the evening, the  rest of 
 america  maybe  an  hour.           
                                          
 and  thus,   the  population  of   earth 
 has  kind  of  left  it's  materialistic 
 baseline,   only  that   most   do   not 
 remember                             it. 
                                          
                                          
  
  * there's an interesting aspect to  
   the  "jupiter equinox"  act.  it   
    seems   there  was   never  any   
  jupiter equinox concerts before or  
  after the one in black tickle. the  
   lead  singer (also  colloquially   
  referred to as jupiter) seemed  to  
   immediately disappear (for a long  
  while she was thought to have been  
   a  cia  agent, but a later  foia   
  release refuted this). for obvious  
  reasons, many were looking for any  
   trace  of  the  band,  but  none   
   were fruitful.                     
                                      
  recently, however,  some attention  
  has been drawn to juniper helding,  
  a sixteen year old pop singer from  
   england who  has  a very striking  
   similarity...
